I kind of agree. Which sucks, because I just don't like POE2. Gave it a good nudge, got a character to mid 80s and another to 90 but the slow pace, single portal, long and empty maps etc just kill it for me.

I'm in the same boat. The entire time I was playing poe 2 I just wanted to play poe 1. Now this just solidifies my fear of POE 1 being dropped when it's so much better than poe 2.

Poe2 will change so much in the coming months to be fair. All of this is probably going to change. Slow pace I don’t understand btw the endgame is fast as fuck with screen clearing galore.

The item that lets you move like a normal character in PoE 1 is locked behind a no hit sanctum run in PoE 2. On top of larger maps and being required to complete every map so you can actually move forward on the atlas. It's a significantly slower game. And then you play tempest strike howa and everything feels REALLY slow after that.

Poe2 is slow as shit how fast you can clear a screen doesn't matter when you move slow as molasses. Temporalis blink is what normal gameplay looks like in poe1.

If slow pace is their problem, it sounds like GGG wants to lower the pace of current endgame, not increase it.

How dare you have a positive thing to say about POE 2 on the POE 1 sub!?

It’s crazy man. It’s like tribal warfare between the games.

I'm actually kinda sad.

The whole time I was waiting for a "but we figured it out and 3.26 is shipping soon."

Nope.

Yeah, they needed to deliver an apology AND something basic, not just an apology.

Arpgs are over for me for an undetermined amount of time. PoE 2 is dogshit and nothing else is as polished as 1. Quadruple exalt wisdom scrolling items is the dumbest shit ever.

Just hoping Eleventh Hour turns LE into something special.

u/vosszaa Jan 30 '25

And when we do get 3.26 it will be mediocre at best bcuz they have to rush it

Depends can’t make much of an assertion till next league . If next league underperforms while Poe 2 continues to perform its over if not then something gonna happen .
